US Drilling Boom Stalls for Oil, Gas Posted Mar 14, 09 3:10 PM CDT in US, Business (Newser) – It doesn't pay to drill, baby, drill anymore. Falling world prices have brought an end to the boom in domestic drilling for oil and natural gas, the New York Times reports. Last summer, 2,400 gas and oil rigs were deployed in the hunt for energy. Today, that figure is 1,200 and still dropping. “The big bonanza is over,” said one Texas driller whose company has gone from 35 rigs to 8. “Everyone is really shocked how fast everything has turned.” Thousands of workers have been laid off, with the cutbacks especially pronounced for natural gas. Analysts worry that if companies cut back too severely, they won't be able to respond quickly if demand picks up. One oil exec said it could take up to 2 years to assemble crews again. “Inevitably, the market doesn’t react,” said one analyst. “It overreacts and shoots itself in the foot.” =============================== Don't worry folks. I'm sure Obama's alternative energy plans will keep your energy consumption cost down. |

old news last report I heard was that there are over two hundred tankers parked off Houston waiting for the price to come back up before they will unload They stockpiled back at the end of 2008 also. Less supply to bring the prices up. They have enough stock piled to keep it alright should we ever need it anyway. |

Just think about the cost saved in lives alone that we will enjoy!!

I got mine just in time but am thinking about whether it's enough to make me quit. Would like to just for spite, but when I consider what a B.e.a.c.h I will be while quiting I would only be hurting myself. The gov could care less.. LOL |
